Euphoria filled the hall as the students of St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes danced and sang their way through "The Wiz." Production values, light, sound, and set were extraordinarily well-developed and good. The choreography and the dancing showed great skill and a lot of rehearsal.
Adhana Reid turned in a lovely performance as Dorothy. Jewell Dupree made an affecting performance of the Scarecrow. Josh Movius turned in an excellent performance as the Tin Man and Tre Vaughn Allison made a powerful Lion.
LeAnn Dunn as Evillene has a lot of fun with "No Bad News," to my mind the best number in the show.
